Death Row Inmates’ Last Meal Requests. #6 Is Quite Odd.

For some people, the last meal of a convicted person in death row can be as intriguing as what crime they committed. In some states, a death row inmate is given the ‘privilege’ to choose the final meal they want to consume before they ‘leave’.

Henry Hargreaves is a photographer who has re-created the last meal of some of the most notorious convicts and compiled them in a series he calls ‘No Seconds‘.

“When I first came across all the requests, I found it to be such a fascinating insight into the minds of these soon-to-be executed individuals.”

“As I read the requests, I began to imagine these prisoners as people and not just numbers. The story became much more real in my mind and I wanted to represent this visually.”

“I wanted the viewer to think of them as a person for a moment instead of them being anonymous.” – Henry Hargreaves
